Summary

Can you believe it? This week Paula is talking to Jesus! She’s one-on-one with Jonathan Roumie – the star of The Chosen, the mighty-popular streaming video series on the life of Jesus Christ. Like over 200 million people around the globe, Paula, her kids, and her 81-year-old mother are HUGE fans of Jonathan and The Chosen – and we have a solid feeling you are too! Can we get an Amen?! Hear Jonathan retrace the early twists and turns of pursuing his calling, including voiceovers on MTV’s Celebrity Death Match, a literal run-in with Run DMC, and juggling both side jobs and full-on fears of the unknown. You’ll be encouraged by how Jonathan pursued his calling in the face of that fear, learn how he navigates spiritual warfare, discover the new projects he’s discerning for the new year – and find out how The Chosen is contributing to a revival across the pond. It’s totally inspiring! While we all have watched Jonathan channel Jesus’ personal, tender and funny sides on-screen - he brings a similar personal spirit to this warm and enlightening episode of Paula’s “Faith & Calling” podcast.
